A Wayne County judge has requested that the Michigan Supreme Court reject a six-month suspension recommended by a watchdog agency.

According to the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission, Judge Deborah Ross Adams of the 3rd Circuit Court forced her attorney’s signature on documents in her divorce case. The agency also claims that she lied under oath to the commission.

Adams says her attorney was coerced during the investigation to turn over confidential documents. She also claims she never intended to mislead the judge who was handling her divorce.
